Chips 23h
Valiant are the stars
Incandescence at arms
Knights of the cosmos
What distant suns!
Chips Jun 2024
Falling stars like speckled gold,
Juniper fields, memories of old,
The bees have gone, or so I've been told
Would you have known?
Where you were, the path grows cold
Not one you've wrote, those empty notes,
Hardly a modern myth,
To me, this dream you sold

Celestial Two
Chips Jun 2023
Unprecedented to me,
Your presence,
Hold constellations of the cosmos,
Planets of distant suns,
Secrets of the stars

Dearest Muse
Chips Mar 2023
Letters of yours,
Hidden in sight,
My trove of treasures,
A reader's delight,

Neatly packed,
With a ribbon or two,
They've arrived,
Long overdue,

Line by line,
I've traced your hue,
Scribbles of yours,
Enveloped in blue

Little Forests,
Chips Mar 2023
I carry with me,
Creatures and critters,
The moss on branches,
Heaps of soil,
Sunkissed leaves,
They're mine to keep

By The Fireplace
Chips Nov 2022
Fire is a sea of beautiful entities,
Gentle creatures craving dominance,
Powerful symbols with graceful manners,
Stings sharp, like a velvet dress,
Tides of patience, bouquet of asters,
Or perhaps,
A cordial, thunderous waltz,
Veil of mystics await the golden embers

Candied Coats
Chips Jun 2022
She drowns in honey,
Smothering waves,
What sweet extravagance!
Wickedly viscous,
As she slowly decays.

A Letter to Death
Chips Mar 2022
It's a downpour,
The infinite jar,
It's that time of the hour!

Grab a mask,
Join the dance,
Paint the scene forever last,

Exhale, unwind,
Relieve the mind,
Of all the fantasies past,

Faith be told,
The pathway's divine,
For the death of mine.

The Expedition
Chips Jan 2022
Wayward,
The convoy’s descent,
Through the breathless hills,
The frozen riverside,
Amongst the wicked witch woods.

Howls of frost approaches,
Impetuous, callous tempest,
Beacon of catastrophe,
Sparks a menacing flare,
The ferocious force of humanity.

Beseech me if you must!
Though as harrowingly as it seems,
No abysmal depth in snow,
May conceal the end in mind,
Of these grimy hands of mine.

Midsummer's Flare
Chips Dec 2021
Basking the scorch,
Of summer’s peak,
The soulful sights,
Bracing breeze,
And the buzzing bees.

Green as far as the eye could see,
One sip of pure nectarine,
A dazzling waltz in nature’s theme,
Sparks a warmth within,
This lucid dream.

Garden of Mine
Chips Dec 2021
Patches of green are all I see,
But green are all that plants should be,
Where oh where, did you go?
The butterflies, bees, beetles,
Fireflies, flies, and friends?
Chips Oct 2021
Serpents sung a harrowing tune,
Seeds of sight planted in dune,
Opaque tides,
To hell they sway,
The macabre waltz,
A masquerade.

Monstrous
Chips Jul 2021
However notoriously must one picture my being,
None may surpass,
This horrid creature of me.
Chips Jun 2021
The silence is deafening,
Beheld upon the creaking drawers of an escritoire,
The sonorousness of all and none,
Still, oh so still,
May the hands of which lay immobilized by this muddled mind of mine.

Malevolence
Chips Jun 2021
Treacherousness in the flesh!
It dawned on us,
As he set our home in flames,
And walked away,
From his progeny’s ashes.

Love is Poetry
Chips May 2021
Your appearance was much anticipated,
Well past nightfall,
Within these verses,
The palace of my thoughts,
Vivid as a thorn-filled valley of red blood roses.
As if to say,
“Love in itself, is such striking poetry”.
Mar 2021 · 197
Reminiscence
Chips Mar 2021
Your scent lingers the air,
A distant fragrance,
Subtle taste akin,
An acacia honey toast,
On a midsummer’s fête champêtre.

Lost in Reverie
Chips Feb 2021
The mind is a lone wanderer,
Perpetually in thought,
Amidst the crowds alike,
Of fantasies untouched,
And faux foresight.
Chips Jan 2021
Cascades of light may reach one's toe,
When fate condones it so.
The warmth, the gleam,
Of skin therein,
With the sun,
Will betimes fade.

Thus be wise,
To relish it so,
For the ray might not recur.

A Lingering End
Chips Jan 2021
The sound of her heart it resonates,
In a tunnel endless and wide,
Far to grasp,
And late to reach.

Fidus Achates
Chips Aug 2020
Lighthearted souls gathered about,
Their strength incomparable,
With their good willed hearts,
And eyes that beamed with exuberance.

As the day grew long and weary,
They danced in tune,
Smiled widely,
And fought bravely by my side.
For all my beloved companions. Humans and canines alike.

Bodies Array
Chips Jun 2020
Hand in hand,
They were formed,
By passion,
By souls entwined.

In profound love they must be!
To set these delicate creations free,
Such divine sculptures,
Sentient in clay,
Each full in emotion and in minds that sway,
But none the same.

New Beginnings
Chips Jun 2020
Harsh winds blew through,
In this cold, vast biosphere,
As I alone,
With none but my molted feather coat,
And these webbed pink feet,
Trudged across a paved way in snow,
To a place unknown.

Where lies my new colony,
With newfound friends,
And a family evermore,
Where I shall bear my soul!
Unjudged and beloved.

What an adventure this will be,
Surely not pleasant,
But one rough and obscure,
Where the malicious seals and skuas wait out to ambush.

Eager I was,
To be set free!
“The bright and bold”,
They’d say,
To us,
The youth,
The birds of times to come.

Alas, The Past.
Chips Jun 2020
Frigid palms of hers,
I held in mine,
What a complementary caress!
Of magma and ice

Memories I’ve missed,
Of the warmth,
In her tone,
Her laugh,
Her presence,
And the gleam in her eyes,
When she smiled was such a bliss

Days like those,
With the pitter and patter,
Of rain and our chatter,
About the future unknown,
And the present we cherished,
Where our knees touched,
And fingers entwined

I loved how it felt,
When her warmth met mine.

— The End —
